Is this plenum cable (fire rated), normal wall cable, or patch-cord cable? 
Note that if it's normal plenum or wall cable, crimping RJ45s is NOT a 
recommended practice (only patch-cord cable, which is more flexible, is 
designed for crimp-on connectors). Normal 'wall' and plenum cable should 
only be terminiated with jacks and a punch-down tool on patch panels.
